Among the Norfolk medical school's yearbooks, at least 10 photographs showed individuals in blackface. That's a conservative number tallied by law firm McGuire Woods, hired to conduct an investigation after a scandal erupted in February concerning Gov. Ralph Northam's page.

Before his political career, Gov. Ralph Northam taught in the department of pediatrics at Eastern Virginia Medical School. And when his term ends, he could be back on faculty, says school president Dr. Richard V. Homan.

"The decision to close the Family Birth Center and the Western Branch OB-GYN, effective June 21, 2019, is based on the maternity needs of the community as well as insufficient demand," said the health care provider in a statement Wednesday.

Hired by Eastern Virginia Medical School in February to investigate a racist 1984 yearbook photo that sparked a political scandal for Gov. Ralph Northam, McGuire Woods has completed its inquiry. Here's what the Richmond law firm determined.

The number of nurses at many homes falls short of national averages and federal recommendations. Among the reasons, the the industry says: Medicaid money doesn't fully cover the cost of care for low-income patients.

Almost three months after a racist photo surfaced on Gov. Ralph Northam's page, few details about the school's outside inquiry have been shared publicly. But documents reviewed by The Virginian-Pilot provide a peek into law firm McGuire Woods’ investigative process.
